What is the difference between WebRTC, Jingle and XMPP?

What is the difference between WebRTC and Jingle. I am going to create an Android application for voice calling using the ejabberd XMPP server. So which one would be the best choice for voice calling on Android?

XMPP is a messaging protocol. Jingle is a sub protocol used by XMPP to establish voice calls or transfer files. WebRTC is a Javascript API (there is also a library that implements this API).

You can use Jingle as a signaling protocol to establish peer-to-peer communication between two XMPP clients using the WebRTC API. This shows an example in Javascript that works in Chrome and Firefox (and Microsoft Edge if you only need sound).

The WebRTC code in code.google.com contains only video and audio codecs, an RTP stack. The libjingle project contains the webRTC API, it looks like a nurse, but it's true. In addition, libjingle has XMPP and STUN stacks, an implementation of ICE. If you want to make a general solution for VOIP, you need to build both.
